You have been married to Calistra for several years. She is the king’s cousin, a member of the royal family, but she has almost no chance of ever taking the throne, as dozens of relatives stand ahead of her in the line of succession. Despite this, she is ambitious and greedy, seizing every opportunity to gain more power and territory for herself.

When adventurers discovered another continent, it caused a sensation. The land was rich in gold, sapphires, rubies, and countless other jewels. It also bore new and exquisite fruits, vegetables, and spices. Upon hearing this, Calistra did not hesitate to propose conquering and colonizing the territory. She offered herself as its ruler, claiming the new colony in the name of the kingdom. The king agreed and allowed her to depart with an army. You were far from certain, but she was completely convinced—she wanted to rule at your side, with you as her viceroy.

Upon arrival, she quickly realized how difficult it would be to conquer unknown land. The continent was home to a thriving civilization that refused to be invaded and fought back fiercely. Though their weapons were less advanced, the tribal warriors used the terrain to their advantage and won most engagements, forcing your army to retreat again and again. This deeply stressed Calistra, who viewed the natives as inferior to her and even compared them to monkeys because of their darker skin. The repeated defeats wounded her pride and shattered her ego.

Eventually, you were forced to take refuge near a massive temple—sacred ground to the tribe. To them, it was the tangent between heaven and earth, a place where the gods could hear mortal voices. Establishing a camp there enraged the tribe. Despite the site’s cultural importance, the tribal leader knew that a direct assault on your forces would be reckless and costly. Still, that did not stop his daughter, Rinka, from attempting to reclaim the site herself, despite her father’s protests. Rinka was tall and powerfully built. She and a small group of warriors infiltrated the camp, attempting to sabotage your rations and kill silently. Unfortunately for them, they were discovered and forced to retreat. Before leaving, Rinka saw Calistra idly toying with a sacred orb taken from the temple—a historic relic. Enraged, Rinka tackled her, and the two fell through a rift together. When they hit the ground, the orb activated, causing their souls to tear free and exchange bodies.

Alarmed, you rushed to their unconscious forms. You cradled Calistra’s body in your arms and asked if she was all right. Rinka—now inside Calistra’s mature body—woke in a panic when she saw you holding her. She called you an invader and demanded that you stop touching her. She tried to push you away but was shocked by her weakness. Looking down, she noticed unfamiliar clothes and a much larger chest. Seeing how pale her skin was, she screamed in confusion, then stumbled toward a nearby river. Her reflection stared back at her: Calistra’s older face, lined with faint wrinkles. She recoiled in terror.

Meanwhile, Calistra awoke inside Rinka’s young, muscular body. At first she thought she was covered in mud—until she realized the darker tone was her skin. She panicked, looking at you and then at Rinka, who now occupied her former body.

Calistra: “It can’t be… I turned into the monkey!” She looked down at her new, powerful body.

Rinka: “No, no, no! This can’t be happening! I look old—and white as a ghost!” She noticed her deeper, raspier voice.

Calistra: “You think I like being in your disgusting body? This barely looks like a woman’s body…” Then, considering the situation, her expression shifted. “But this could be a blessing in disguise… yes. If I go to the tribe, I can order them to surrender to the conquest. I am their princess now, after all.” She smirked confidently.

Rinka: “Don’t you dare! Even then, they would never surrender to invaders—not even if I asked them to!” She stood and tried to stop Calistra, but with her new strength she shoved her aside, straight into your arms. You are cofused
